CDF/D0/CD Joint Offline Project FY99 Budget Notes:
This gives guidelines for acronyms and budget codes for purchases
for the CDF/D0/CD Joint Run II Offline Computing Project. The goal
is to facilitate producing the requisitions and associated justifications
and attachments, allow CDF, D0 and CD management the appropriate level
of involvement and control of budgeting and purchasing, and to facilitate
the tracking and reporting of planned and actual purchases. The Task Coordinators
will discuss the proposed budgets with the heads of the CDF and D0 Groups
and with each project leader.
Budget
CDF and D0 Groups should propose acronyms, budget codes and budgets to
cover the purchases that will be deployed into production in support of
the experiments Run II needs. Acronyms should be of the form CDF-RUN2-XXX
and D0-RUN2-XXX. There should be separate Level 2 acronyms for each
category in the Data Needs Assessment Document e.g. FARMS and Analysis Systems.
Joint Offline Projects may need expenditures in the development and
testing of their deliverables. In general but not in every case, these
expenditures will have acronyms and budget codes assigned to the Department
in which the Project Leader resides. In situations where there are 2 Project
Leaders both Departments will be involved.. There will be a Level 1 Acronym
"RUN2". Level 2 Acronyms will identify the Project e.g.
RUN2-DataAccess-TestSystem. I
For purchases where the disposition of costs between the Experiments
and the Computing Division is not known at the time of purchase CD level
2 Acronyms and Budget Codes will be assigned under Run2. When the disposition
of the purchase costs is known chargebacks or cost/budget code transfers
will be made to Experiment or Project specific codes. These will be tracked
by the Computing Division Budget Office. e.g. KAI licences.
Maintenance and blanket orders will have a CD Acronym and Budget code.
They will be tracked through the CD maintenance group and process - through
the ELS group. The acronym should used for such costs will include the
string "Run2".

Signatures
For FY99 a "Run2 Workflow" will be provided in matrix to allow for signatures
by more than one Department Head where needed. The Acronym
associated with a Requisition will route to the workflow. The required
Department level signatures will operate in Parallel - to facilitate multiple
signature authorization to provide minimum delay in the progress
of the requisitions.
Reports
Mischief reports will be provided which select all costs associated with
Run2 Acronyms and Budget Codes. The Laboratory MMS system has a Project
Code "Computing-Run2" to which all CD Run2 Budget Codes are assigned.
Miser will provide reporting according to this list, and will provide ongoing
checks that the CD and MMS lists are consistent.
